Why I Chose This Spot:

Back in 2013 or so, I came up with a New Year's resolution.  Once a month, I'm going to try an eatery that I've never tried before.  Some of these eateries I have found simply be driving by.  Some of them have been on a TV show, like on The Food Network, or The Travel Channel.  We're down to a core group of two couples (there have been many months with more than a dozen in our group).

 

First Impressions:

As this establishment is situated in the corner of a modern strip center, it didn't stand out.  Upon entering, the dining are was very clean, with multiple booths and tables, at which to sit.  There was an abundance of parking available.

 

The Service:

The Wife and I were the only customers at the time that we walked in, so I was asked if I could sit where I desired, while awaiting the other couple..  Before I sat down in the booth, I questioned an employee that I took to be the "Chef" about his recommendations.  He informed me of what he liked to eat, and what dishes were popular with the guests.

 

The Menu:

The menu contained chicken tenders, chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, and chicken tacos,  Apple wood smoked ribs, a dish called Sleezy Chicken, and Hog Heaven.  Most dishes come with "Shack" sauce, in 4 increasing heat levels (None to Texas Hot).

 

What I ordered:

Two of us ordered the Sleezy Chicken  I personally ordered my dish be prepared with Texas Heat (reportedly made with Habaneros).  The other Sleezy was with Medium heat.  An order of the tacos, and a quarter-rack of ribs with a side of Mac-N-Cheese rounded out our table.


The Food:

Everything that we ordered was fantastic, and prepared correctly.  All four of us liked our meal a lot.


Value for Money:
The prices ranged from $10 to $15, for a standard dish.  Overall, I feel that this price range is good, and the portions were ample for a Fat Paramedic.


Would I Return?

Absolutely.  All of the food tasted great and the price/portion was more than fair.

    JWilsons 4190 Gladys Ave, Beaumont, TX 77706          jwilsons.com Why I Chose This Spot: While in town on the ambulance, my partner and I decided to stop for supper.  According to the iPhone, this eatery was highly rated, so we went.   First Impressions: This eatery looks like the mental image that you develop when looking at the name.   The Menu: The large (quantity) menu contained "Shareables," Sandwiches, Salads, and Entrees.  They have a decent smattering of Sides, as well.   What I ordered: My partner ordered the Flank Steak Stack, which is situated on a bed of red potatoes and smoked Gouda cream, topped in chimichurri sauce.  I ordered their Hamburger Steak Stack "loaded" with jalapenos and cheddar, topped with a mushroom gravy.

L & A China Cafe

 L & A China Cafe 4130 FM 762, Space 700, Rosenberg, Texas 77469      www.lachinacafetx.com Why I Chose This Spot: I'm frequently looking for a good Chinese restaurant.  I was in the general area to run an errand, and the map on my phone located it.  It was highly reviewed, and the photos were flattering.   First Impressions: As this establishment is situated in the corner of a modern strip center, it didn't stand out.  Upon entering, the dining are was very clean, with multiple booths and tables, at which to sit.  There was not an abundance of Chinese decor.   The Service: I was the only customer at the time, so I was instructed to sit where I desired.  As I sat down in the booth, the server met me at the table with a menu and took my drink order (iced tea).  He returned with it shortly and took my food order.  He was prompt and polite.  He was vigilant about keeping my tea glass filled.   The Menu...
